Recruiting, and retaining health workers in Finley will soon be easier with the arrival of new accommodation units to support staff at Finley Health Service.
Six self-contained units, one of which is wheelchair accessible, are being delivered and installed as part of the NSW Government’s $45.3 million
Key Worker Accommodation (KWA) Program.
The modern and fit-for-purpose units will be fully furnished and self-contained, and feature a screened verandah, light-filled living and dining area, modern kitchen, bedroom with ensuite, and internal laundry.
Parking spaces and secure access are also provided.
Healthcare workers are expected to move into the new accommodation before the end of the year, once installation, connection of services, fencing, landscaping, and furnishing of the units is completed.
The NSW Government has also committed $25 million to redevelop Finley Hospital, which will deliver patient-focused health service and enhanced models of care across all existing services.
The Finley Health Service Key Worker Accommodation was delivered in partnership with Health Infrastructure and Murrumbidgee Local Health District.
An additional $200.1 million has been committed by the NSW Government to increase key health worker accommodation across rural and regional areas of the state as part of the 2024-25 NSW Budget.
